The Kahk Guide and Recommendation For a Delicious Eid
Moulid El-Naby, peace and blessings be upon him, is just around corner and as this blissful day approaches us, we get to enjoy another sweet part of the day by indulging on delicious treats which is a tradition in celebrating the occasion.
There are of course so many choices and places to pick from and so we have created one delicious list to narrow them a bit for you.
Their ‘heavenly’ Moled creations come in very unique and attractive boxes, which can make an ideal gift as well for your friends and family.
Prices:
You can never go wrong with Nola, their Mouled treats are described as crunchy and scrumptious.
Prices: Start from 200 to 400 EGP.
Their treats in general are one of the finest so we can only imagine how good their halawet Mouled is going to be!
Prices:
2 Kilos for 495 LE
3 Kilos for 795 LE
Dukes is another must try with a wide selection of Halawet El Moled this year.
Prices: Start from 150 per kilo.
We love how every year more and more pastry shops are getting creative with their treats! We have all seen new innovative creations in Ramadan, and this Moled, El Domiaty is introducing their Moled treats with a little twist by adding our favorite ingredient, Nutella!
We have tried it, and let me just tell you this, forget the calories because it’s totally worth it.
For prices, check this link.
We love the boxes from La Poire this year and we’re sure you will love them too!
For prices and information, visit the nearest branch or call 19515
Treat yourself with Tseppas fancy creations and as you indulge on their heavenly pieces, you can also win prizes or get discounts if you ‘find the chef’ in one of their boxes.
Last but not least, El Abd Patisserie is another good choice for both the quality and reasonable prices, and also while you are at it, check out their latest ad for Mouled El-Naby! It’s quite impressive.

The Egyptian fast-casual restaurant ‘Zooba‘ is now serving New Yorkers our favorite Falafel and their soft opening was attended by Minister of Tourism, Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, who was present to show tremendous support to the the young men behind Zooba.
We certainly loved seeing the young men extends their success to the big apple and we loved it even more that Dr Mashat made sure to attend the opening, even have dinner with the boys, in support of Egyptian effort.
Dr Mashat highlighted the fact that opening Egyptian food chains in foreign countries comes as part of ‘People to People‘ campaign, which sheds the light on successful Egyptians who are acing it in different fields.
“Culinary arts became one of the tourist attractions for some countries. The traditional food dishes show each country’s identity. In addition, the traditional food became a part of the experience which any tourist search for,” She said.
Egyptian-American founder Chris Khalifa, along with head chef and co-founder Moustafa El Refaey, opened Zooba back in 2012. Zooba is based already in six locations in Cairo, now in NYC and soon to open in KSA.
The restaurant offers classics, as well as twists, on Egyptian street food and their menu includes local variant of falafel that are made with fava beans instead of chickpeas.
You can now pay the restaurant if you’re in New York at 100 Kenmare Street, NY.
Ramadan is almost over, and Eid is coming your way, meaning that Kahk Season is finally upon us! But it also means that businesses will still find their way into making money over the holidays.
One of the most well known paisteries shops in Egypt has announced the prices of their Kahk this year, and people are going nuts over their unreasonable prices!
Apparently, they had to announce this early; so people can start saving up from now.
Despite everything, I do appreciate the sense of humor of Egyptians, and here’s a glimpse of how some people are reacting to the news…

Even though Le Carnival has proved over the years, that their quality is a top notch one. The price remains quite hefty, and it doesn’t make sense to have to pay such an amount, even if the texture of the Kahk is a good one, and it doesn’t leave any unpleasant after taste because of their premium ingredients. It is still, Way.Too.Much.
Still, I don’t think any sane person would pay this amount, especially if there are several substitutes, and very good ones as well.
For instance, Nola is offering a Kilo of Kahk and Petite Four for only 160 EGP. However, some claim that they taste more like a cookie than kahk.
There is also Dukes, who also offers premium products, and they as well, are celebrating Eid earlier this year.
Another recommendation is Sedra, this is their third year in a row to be offering excellent Kahk, it is consistent with quite reasonable prices.
The thing is there are countless of other options, but one question remains, when will businesses stop taking advantage of the holidays? It is already apparent in Ramadan, what with all the tents, Iftar set menus and expensive Sohour.
Now, they are stealing the joy of the holiday, to earn more money.
